About ProjectWise ProjectWise is an engineering project team collaboration system which is used to help teams improve quality, reduce rework, and meet project deadlines. ProjectWise is a suite of integrated software applications from Bentley Systems aimed at helping manage, find, and share CAD, GIS, BIM and Office documents. ProjectWise provides a secure environment where project information can be stored and managed. Individuals can check out a document for revisions and check it in when the revisions are complete. Others can read the document while the document is checked out but cannot revise it. ProjectWise is not an FTP site. To take full advantage of file management and performance, documents should be worked on from ProjectWise and the system will manage the check-in and check-out in the background for you.

Web Client Installations Installing the ProjectWise Web Server Client Components The ProjectWise Web Server Client Components are a required ActiveX control which must be installed to allow the user to check-out/check-in documents from the AECOM ProjectWise Web Site. This control is being offered from AECOM as a separate install component due to most companies not allowing ActiveX controls to be installed from the internet. The install file for this can be located on an AECOM gateway site. If your company does allow ActiveX controls to be installed from the internet these controls will be installed automatically.

NOTE: Installation of this control requires the user to have Administrative privileges on the workstation. After being installed, you will find a listing for the ProjectWise Web Server Components in Control Panel as shown below.

Follow the setups below to install the ProjectWise Web Server Client Components.

1. If you haven’t done so already, go to the previous section and add AECOM’s ProjectWise Web Site to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer.

2. Download the ProjectWise Web Client Installer. A link to the download is provided here: https://dms.eu.aecom.com/AECOM_Downloads/pw_web.zip
